I tested on my rhel7. After build rps rpm, there are 2 commands after the
rpm generate.
`
[INFO] + cd
/home/xsheng/hawq/incubator-hawq/ranger-plugin/target/rpm/hawq-ranger-plugin/BUILD
[INFO] + /usr/bin/rm -rf
/home/xsheng/hawq/incubator-hawq/ranger-plugin/target/rpm/hawq-ranger-plugin/buildroot
`
Since previous install method is copying the ranger folder under buildroot,
but now the content of BuildRoot is deleted automatically on rhel7. Because the
rpmbuild version is 4.11.3.
I searched on the internet and found that the old version of rpmbuild will
keep the folder and we can copy the files to installdir. But on rhel7 the
rpmbuild is high version and will remove the buildroot. So the installation
will fail.
There are some workarounds I haven't verified because they are required to
modify the spec file when build rpm. But the spec file for build ranger-plugin
rpm is generated automatically.
I checked rpmbuild version on my rhel6 and rhel7. RPM version 4.8.0 and RPM
version 4.11.3. They all deleted the buildroot folder after build. So there is
the pr. If you have any solution, please commets. Thanks in advance.
On my mac the rpm is "rpm (RPM) 5.4.15" and "rpmbuild (RPM) 5.4.15", it
won't remove "buildroot". I think it's rpm5.
Concourse ci build and install the ranger-plugin.rpm separately so it's
green. If we use rpm to install the ranger-plugin during hawq installation, we
should use "rpm --prefix=/hawq/install/path ranger-plugin.rpm". But I tried
and got an error:
`rpm: --prefix may only be used when installing new packages`. So it not
reality for a community user or developer to rpm uninstall and rpm install
everytime they have changes.
